Step 1

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Pat fish dry with paper towels and cut into 1x3-inch sticks.

Step 3

Place flour in a shallow dish. Beat egg in a separate shallow dish. Combine panko, Parmesan cheese, parsley, paprika, and pepper in a third shallow dish.

Step 4

Coat each fish stick in flour, then dip in beaten egg, and finally coat in seasoned panko mixture.

Step 5

Spray the basket of the air fryer with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange 1/2 the sticks in the basket, making sure none are touching. Spray the top of each stick with cooking spray.

Step 6

Cook in the preheated air fryer for 5 minutes. Flip fish sticks and cook an additional 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining fish sticks.
